The smell of freshly laid asphalt and the roar of engines is a combination that gets any two-wheel enthusiast's pulse racing. Motor ExtremoWe always strive to offer you the best on-track experiences, and that's why we couldn't wait any longer to try out what's coming. Our expert instructors have had the privilege of being the first to ride a motorcycle on the new asphalt of the Look & Run Almería II CircuitAnd the news couldn't be better.
Join us in this recap of what we experienced in this first contact and why you should mark next February on your calendar.
A track that promises thrills
Although the facilities still show signs of being in the midst of construction —as can be seen in the video accompanying this post—, what is truly important, the asphalt stripIt's already starting to show its best side. Almería II is not simply an extension; it's a track with its own personality that will test both the driver's technique and the machine's performance.
Our instructors, accustomed to racing on the best circuits in the peninsula, have returned to the pits with ear-to-ear grins. The word most repeated within the team is... "fluency"Despite being a young asphalt surface that still needs to "settle in", the initial grip is promising and the layout of the circuit encourages drivers to explore its limits from the first few laps.
Technical Analysis: Blind Corners and Braking Management
Thanks to telemetry and the cameras on board our instructors, we have been able to analyze two critical points that will make Almería II a benchmark circuit:
1. The challenge of blind zones
One of the most spectacular aspects of the new track is its topography. The video clearly shows how the cornering in the blind spots It requires blind confidence in the racing line and a deep knowledge of the circuit.
Filming here isn't just about speed, but about intuition and referenceOur instructors point out that entering these curves is technical and rewarding; once you find the turning point, the exit opens up, allowing you to decisively push the accelerator.
2. Braking after the main straight
If there's one moment that defines the adrenaline rush of a racetrack, it's the end of the straight. At Almería II, managing the braking after the main straight is key. Transitioning from top speed to the entry of the first corner requires stability and precision. We've found that the design of the run-off area and the track width at this point offer the necessary safety to brake late with confidence, allowing the most experienced drivers to find the right angle. time lapse perfect.
Everything is ready for our premiere in February 2026
As you've seen in the images, the circuit is still surrounded by machinery and workers are working flat out. However, the deadlines are progressing as planned. The goal is clear: to have everything in perfect condition so that on the next two days, February 21 and 22, 2026 Let us, together with all of you, officially inaugurate the calendar of motorcycle rides on this route.
These sessions won't be just any sessions. Driving on brand-new asphalt is a unique experience that every driver should have at least once. The feeling of riding on a perfect surface, without bumps and with maximum grip, is unmatched.
